Buy HTC Athena here!!!

Now that I have sold my HTC Universal for $600USD, I wait to buy the HTC Athena. HTC Athena will be marketed in early-mid march. It is known as the T-Mobile Ameo or the Dopod U1000. Price will range from $650USD to $1000USD? If I am correct I think its competitors (well personally I think that Athena is no way comparable to this garbage f***ed ) are going to be Apple iPhone and O2 XDA Flame. You can take iPhone off your list. It is very low on performance wise. Same goes for O2 XDA Flame. Although both Flame and iPhone will be very popular, dont fall for it! They are smaller and sleeker too! iPhone = $500 and Flame probably $700?
Anyways when Athena hits market anywhere in Asia, Europe or the Americas please post links here that all of us can use to make purchases.

Then I think you have a problem...

re

Not really i think the price i offer is pretty descent for a pocket pc only. I dont want any addons. Just a plain vanilla. Since with all addons it costs 600 pounds then maybe 400 pounds without addons? or maybe i have to wait longer?

When you say *all the add-ons* I hardly think the gift pack is adding much to it.
Box Contents:
- Dopod U1000 Pocket PC
- Battery
- USB Sync. Cable
- VGA out adaptor cable
- Stereo wired headset with microphone
- Carrying Case
- User manual, quick start guide & software CD
Gift Pack:
- Bluetooth Headset
- Screen Protector
- GPS Software with Hong Kong & China map

I think those last 3 are free, so I doubt you will be seeing it any more vanilla.

You know they quite often delay the Availability date? ......let's hope this time they won't!

I hate the price but this is so far the best looking body finish. Original unmodified HTC Advantage X7500 available to be bought from HTC themselves. Price is $1500USD. >.> Dang.

Please be aware of all these cheap HTC Advantage, they are all FAKE!!!!!
It's not out yet the Advantage until beginning of april. I have official confirmation on this. If you look at that seller, he is also selling the Apple iPhone 8G ! Do you believe it or not, your decision.

Yea its not out. maybe thats a pre-order or its just another fraud.. but still i like that offer. Maybe something like that will come later on. I like the black athena and i will only go for that. i had a silver universal earlier and didnt like it much.

I thought maybe he was coming out and trying to convert us all there!
Phew! Glad it was only eBay!

if your willing to part with any of those in your list, why not sell the iphone and add it to the £350 and buy one? or get a new contract with one?
you will only get one for £350 if someone then reports it stolen, so they get a replacement, and your £350, and you lose your money and have a dead phone / criminal record .... actually, ill sell you mine

LG Optimus 7 for £215 in UK

This will be my first windows mobile device after moving from iphone to android.
How easy is this to debrand and sim unlock and jailbreak?

They deliver anywhere as I understand it, at least to all of the EU.
The phone comes unbranded and unlocked. And being an LG there's really no need
to jailbreak it, just change a registry entry and you are set.

It's cheaper now!!
It's down to GBP184.99 now at Expansys.

Expansys usually do a 12-hour deal on a monday called 'Monday Madness'. I got an email about this particular one.
Definitely 'ends' at midnight UK time.

has anyone got one of these expansys "handset only"
are they brand new and fully boxed/sealed with everything incl. or just repaired units (if they had lots returned due to faulty bluetooth ) ?

I ordered one today its brand new and at £185 it's too good not to buy.

Do you know if it's branded/unbranded? All it says on the website is sim-free.

Its brand new, sealed and unbranded.

Got one yesterday as the stock levels started to fall from 100+ to around 50. Considered £214 to be good value, but £184 delivered was a bonus. If I don't like it, I'm sure I won't lose much, and might even make something. Some other online stores still have it at £369.
Could the price drop be linked to today's Mango announcement? Probably, but still a decent smart phone with the anticipated bump in feature spec around the corner is a good time to buy. Let's hope it's not like the Viewty all over again.

Got mine today, came very quickly but that was about as good as it gets.
Phone does not want to boot up. It either hangs on the LG boot screen or refuses to power up at all.
When i plug it into a pc it recognises the lg modem but the driver fails to install!
Try to contact Expansys but so far no replies to emails and with the phone number provided no-one answers!
Anybody else had this problem?

Sealed and new. It's a South Korean model shipped with a replacement (uk) charger.

[Q] DVP for $279 on 1saleaday.com

Saw this on sale this morning:
http://1saleaday.com/wireless/
Even thought I'm an android user I've had a Zune HD for a while and love the Metro UI. This seems like a good price, should I go for it?

Well I got mine for £179.99 via the dell website as a swarm so it's really your choice. But I would wait for the lower price

why not get the 16bg version from dell for $299 (or $199 if you buy something over $700)
The sale you linked to is only the 8gb version. (which dell doesn't sell anymore)
http://www.dell.com/us/p/mobile-ven...&baynote_bnrank=2&baynote_irrank=0&redirect=1

It was on sale here in Germany for 200€ a few weeks ago. Yesterday it was on sale for 175€. Pretty awesome if you ask me. Maybe someone will port Android now.

I almost bought it but then I saw that its only the tmobile 3g bands

The keyboard was the number one reason I got a DVP. Otherwise why not just get a Focus or HD7?

Me too. I use the hardware keyboard all the time, unless I'm just typing a word or two. Very good keyboard in my opinion.

3G works on either one or the other... you have to choose when ordering. There is no such thing as a DVP that has 3G on both AT&T and T-Mobile.
The T-Mo version is a better bet for world-wide use because it has not only 2100 but 900 support. The AT&T one has only 2100 for non-US use.

Buying Htc HD2

Does anybody know any good websites to but a HTC hd2 from ? I'm kinda sketched to buy from eBay. If anyone is selling one I'm more then willing yo buy it. Thank you, have a great say.

Thats ridiculously over priced, sorry but no thanks. Im thinking in the low 100s. Most are used and new ones are hard to come up on. I currently have an Epic 4G Touch, but it isnt the same as a HD2.
